OPERA If anyone ever told you there were great operatic stars at St. John’s, you wouldn’t believe him. As a matter of fact there are. If you will kindly come to see the “Pirates of Penzance,” you will have all the proof you re¬ quire. Here is another fact you might not know. There are So many wonderful singers at Tech that one cast cannot accommodate them all. It is necessary to have two casts. Well, here we are and the curtain is just going up. Do you hear the powerful pirates chorus? Where could one see a comparable band of swarthy stalwarts. Then the beautiful (?) nurse Ruth sings her aria, “When Frederick Was a Little Lad,” in truly operatic style. One of the highlights ' of the evening is the Pirates King’s bass aria, “Is There a Doctor in the House.” To this Frederick answers, “No. Miss McCord, I haven’t forgotten my lines.” The rest passes quickly until Mabel the hero¬ ine steps on to the stage to rescue the hero, Frederick, from her sisters, “a bevy of beau¬ ties,” who have “such delicacy, such refine¬ ment.” Mabel sings her coloratura aria, “Poor Wandering One,” with daring bravado. Could not bring down the house? (She probably could, you know the weight of some of these prima donnas). All goes well in the end. The girls all marry the pirates turn out to be noblemen who have all gone wrong. The Major- General is left without anyone, but maybe he will marry Ruth, the nurse. What? You say you believe us when we say there are great singers at St. John’s. I’m glad the opera has proved it. On the serious side now. The entire cast en¬ joyed themselves immensely in this production and it is obvious from the opera just described th at the opera was a success. Deepest apprecia¬ tion is felt by all for the directors, Miss Horner, Miss Gauer, and Miss McCord, whose untiring work and patience were responsible for the opera’s production. On behalf of the cast (and the finance committee) we thank Miss Cum- rning who so ably handled the ticket sales and receipts. We would also like to thank the stu¬ dents from Isaac Newton who assisted in the orchestra. ★ DRAMATIS PERSONAE Mabel .Shirley Cohen, Maxine Carter Ruth .Mae Olynyk, Bella Boroditsky Edith .Esther Ludwig, Rita Pleskow Kate Adeline Wdoviak, Sheila Rittberg Isabel .Maria Semeniuk, Mildred Hamata Frederic .Max Klein, Joe Lerner Pira.te King .Dan Shapira, Leonard Kozachenko Major-General .Ross Henderson, Wally Olensky Samuel .Norman Hill, Yngve Magnuson Sergeant of Police .Jack Alexander, Martin Weidman, Eddie Zulkoski, John Enns FIRST GIRLS’ CHORUS PIRATES’ CHORUS Sopranos Rowena Rubinfield Helen Olasker Freda Rabkin Marie Semeniuk Selma Levine Teddy Polsky Ruth Joy Lockshin Barbara Sisler Elizabeth Storozuk Yvonne Sawchuk Helen Taylor Reta Ludwig Pauline Burka Altos Eleanor Shatsky Caroline Korobailo Naomi Fox Greta Lois Freeman Esther Green Miriam Levin Frances Lucow Malka Lerner Ann Nurgitz Marion Furman July London Ann Gunn Molly Fairman Jean Skinner Louise Baron Margaret Zuke Arnice Kozack ★ Tenors Zenon Skyba Dennis Pedeschuk Dan Brody Norman Hill Aaron Freedman Arnold Rubin Harold Goldstein First Baritones Bill Taylor Jack Kirkland Stephen Arsenych Lawrence Klapecki Jerry Daien Lawrence Moscovitch Irwin Dorfman John Enns Jack Alexander David Boonov Morris Silver Jack Stone Tony Hickaway David Babier Roman Pohorecky Second Baritones Eddie Zulkoski Bill Spivak Aubrey Yarmar Jack Kaplan Joe Breitman Sheiky Brownstone Murray Tapper Arthur Silverman Harvey Stoller Manly Rusen Donald Duff Yngve Magnuson SECOND GIRLS’ CHORUS ★ POLICEMEN’S CHORUS Sopranos Bernice Linney Marjorie Lees Pat Dybish Lorraine Brethauer Irene Ferley Joyce Bawden Noreen Plischke Kathleen Acheson Eleanor Wilkie Ann Tymochek Helen Hiebert June Fridfinnson Altos Grace Linney Joyce Owens Marion Dressier Marion Holliday Myra Resnick Josephine Piasecki Lorraine Hofley Marguerite Mason Roberta Silverman Agnes Kriese Steffie Rudan Mary Niven Renie Donen Adeline Hackie Doreen Albert Rebecca Boonov Sheila Krisvoshea Jenny Kopel Buddy Shaen Ken Golden Sam Nisenboim Archie Sinclair Alan Bermack Carl Smith Morley Guest Harold Underschultz Fred Freeth Sam Roote Harvey Swartz Dennis Kerman John Alexander Martin Weidman John Enns Eddie Zulkoski Alvin Greenberg Jerry Libling Page Ninety-eight
